Q 75 specifically says the throw in is after a basket and B has end line privileges. On the throw in A intentionally kicks ball. When B throws in after this violation it will be a spot throw in. T or F

The answer key says false. Therefore the throw in will be behind the end line and B will retain end line privileges.

Case book 7-5.7 Situation B gives this exact scenario.
In scenario (a) the kick is close to B on the end line and in (b) the kick is near the division line.
Ruling according to the case book:
(a) B gets throw in behind end line with privileges
(b) B gets throw in at division line Spot throw in

If the case book is correct then Q75 cannot be answered correctly. The Q does not indicate where the ball was kicked.

Bad question or incorrect ruling in case book?
Neither, like Tony said, you are thinking about it way too much. They are trying to get across that you don't lose the right to run the endline following a violation. That's all. You are right, in the question it doesn't exactly tell you where the violation occured. But that's obviously not the point they are trying to get across or they would of said the violation occurred at the top of the key or at the division line, etc. The point they are trying to make is that you don't lose the right to run the endline following a violation.
